Lisa A. Kelly

Wednesday

SANTA ANA, Calif. - After a long painful struggle, Lisa's spirit left her tired body in Santa Ana, California on Thursday, June 6, 2013.

Lisa was born February 7, 1958 in New York City and was the daughter of Lorraine L. Kelly of Middletown, Rhode Island and James P. Kelly of Santa Ana, California.

She graduated from Middletown High School in 1976 and the University of Rhode Island in 1981. Her journeys in life took her many places including New York, Connecticut, South Dakota, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Virginia, Catania, Italy, Massachusetts and most recently Santa Ana, California. Lisa was a gentle, beautiful human being who dearly loved Aquidneck Island.

Besides her parents her sister Trevor Kelly Bissonnette and her brother-in-law Laurent Bissonnette, her nephew and godchild Tyler Bissonnette and her niece Lauren Bissonnette survive her.

Her grandparents Emilio and Angela Lopez predeceased her.

Lisa left life too early and will be missed by her family and friends. Much gratitude to those who share their experience, strength and hope.

A celebration of Lisa's life will be held at a later date.

For those who wish to contribute, donations can be made in her memory to The Norman Bird Sanctuary, 583 Third Beach Road, Middletown, RI 02842.
